It also attracts a lots of tourists for its scenic beauty, serene landscape and adventure sports. Himachal Pradesh as a geographical entity was established as in 1948. Initially established as a province, it became a union territory in 1956. Later, in the early seventies, the Himachal Pradesh Act was passed which converted the union territory into a state effective 12.00 am on January 25, 1971. For all practical purposes, a chart casted for 12:00:01 am on January 25, 1971 at Shimla will give ample insights on what to expect. The first step is to determine the Lagna or the Ascendant. The rising sign is Thula or Libra. Debilitated Saturn aspects this sign. The Sun is in Capricorn and free of any aspect. Naturally, the Lagna or Ascendant will be Capricorn.

Book Review by Nirupama Predicting Through Nakshatras – Part I [Compiled and edited by Vidhan Pandya (and Nidhi Sharma Raj) for Saptarishis Astrology Facebook Group. Rs. 150.00 (for sale in India); US $ 20 (for sale outside India)]. The first part (of the three part series) which was sent to us by Mr. Sunil John, Editor, Saptarishis Online Journal, is a differently written book that details out 4 or more predictive techniques for each of the first nine nakshatras – Aswini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu, Pushya and Aslesha. For Aswini nakshatra, the authors say that it can indicate travel. As an example, Sun (the significator of father) in Aswini, can suggest that the native’s father has a travelling job. They give several combinations for each technique making the mind of the reader churn well. Multiple charts (contributed by others in India and around the globe) are analyzed in depth and add luster to the book. There are three appendices interestingly titled as 1. Relatives in Astrology - identifying the twelve houses with self, family, younger siblings, mother, children, maternal uncles and aunts (and enemies too), spouse, spouse’s family, father, guru, boss, elder sibling and grandfather 2. Quick Reference (of six pages) of the various techniques discussed for each nakshatra in the book, and 3. Tear & Study that give important brief notes for the nine constellations.

But the two, being complementary, cannot be separated completely. Jyothisha gives us a clue to this synthesis by making both Moon and Sun join Saturn to form their respective axis. 13. Sun Energy represents our grasp over reality. But, like mind, reality of the objective world too, is only partially knowable, however far or deep we may go. And it is again Saturn that comes to salvage us. The more humanitarian, just and liberating behaviour patterns alone give us a clue to how much of Sun Energy has been mastered. 14. Thus our behavior or Saturn Energy, through the synthesis of Moon and Sun energy of individual and objective reality, transforms knowledge into wisdom.

jump makes Jupiter of 9th to be the Jupiter of 12th, the first of which represents knowledge and the second, wisdom. This becomes possible through a multi-dialectical quantum leap in the manner given below : At first Mercury -Jupiter axis of 3rd-9th house combine, rotates to form ‘dialectics one’ by being interrelated to the axis of Moon-Saturn of 4th-10th house combination. ‘Dialectics two’ if formed by the rotation of SunSaturn axis, to be interrelated to Mercury-Jupiter axis of 6th-12th housed combination. Then ‘dialectics one’ rotates to be interrelated to ‘dialectics two’, ‘to form a multi-dialectics’. This ‘multi-dialectics’ makes the knowledge-Jupiter transform to be wisdom-Jupiter. This marks the ultimate transcendence of death and liberation. ________ References Kalapurusha Kundali, Vaidika Jyothisha
